“So, Han Lingling, have you made up your mind?” Mo Zhi Jiao asked with a cold and emotionless expression.

Han Lingling quickly said: “Uncle Mo, I, I will not leave Beishan Main City!”

“In that case, follow the arrangement of Beishan Main City. Alright, call Shao Ming over.” Mo Zhi Jiao rubbed his eyebrows and finally could not bear to be harsh on Han Tianying’s daughter, so he ordered someone to call Shao Ming over.

Among all the geniuses, Shao Ming and Han Lingling were the closest.

“Yes, sir!”

The deacon standing nearby quickly called Shao Ming over.

Shao Ming didn’t understand why Mo Zhi Jiao had summoned him, so he looked at him with respect and asked, “Teacher-in-charge, what do you need me for?”

“Shao Ming, you and Han Lingling have known each other since childhood, one could even say you are childhood sweethearts. Now, on behalf of Han Lingling’s father, I am bestowing her to you as your wife. What do you think?” Mo Zhi Jiao said, hands behind his back.

Han Lingling watched as Mo Zhi Jiao betrothed her to Shao Ming, a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but knowing that Shao Ming was not without merit, she didn’t say anything. She started to feel regretful, wouldn’t it be better if she hadn’t annulled her marriage? At least Ma Shenghe was much stronger than Shao Ming, right?

Whilst Han Lingling was lost in her thoughts, Shao Ming spoke: “Teacher-in-charge, I’m afraid I will disappoint you.”

“Oh, Shao Ming, what’s the matter?” Mo Zhi Jiao asked, puzzled.

Without hesitation, Shao Ming answered decisively: “Teacher-in-charge, for one, I am now wholeheartedly devoted to practicing martial arts, secondly, I don’t like Miss Lingling.”

Han Lingling never expected that Shao Ming would actually reject her.

The always insignificant Shao Ming had actually rejected her.

Enraged, Han Lingling pointed at Shao Ming and yelled, “Shao Ming, who do you think you are? How dare you reject me? You are not worthy of me!”

“Indeed, Shao Ming is not worthy of Miss Lingling.” With that, Shao Ming didn’t waste any more words and left with determination.

Han Lingling had no idea because she had never paid attention to him or thought about his feelings.

He had long been disillusioned with Han Lingling. Ever since he lost to Yang Chen last time and saw Han Lingling’s indifference towards him, he knew that Han Lingling had never considered him. Unfortunately, Han Lingling didn’t realize his coldness. If that was the case, why would he even have hope for a woman who only had eyes for herself?

Even if he were to accept her as his wife, his choice would be to decisively reject her.

Han Lingling watched as Shao Ming rejected her and shouted, “Uncle Mo, do you see what Shao Ming just did? He defied your order. He must be severely punished!”

However, Mo Zhi Jiao didn’t pay any attention to Han Lingling. Seeing that Shao Ming was unwilling to accept this arrangement, he sighed while considering other talented young people.

Those who had reached the Origin Martial Realm were all good talents, and he didn’t want them to marry Han Lingling either.

Other geniuses…

Never mind…

“Order it down, and see which genius is willing to marry Han Lingling. Whoever agrees can marry her.” Mo Zhi Jiao waved his hand lazily and didn’t bother to interfere anymore. A girl like Lingling could only be considered mature once she was married.

Han Lingling became anxious as she heard herself being treated like a cheap good, any willing person could marry her.

She could clearly see that Mo Zhi Jiao was not kidding!

Han Lingling cried out, “Uncle Mo, think about it again, think about it again.”

Mo Zhi Jiao didn’t respond.

Han Lingling grew frightened and cried out, “I, I won’t annul the marriage! I want to marry Ma Shenghe, I want to marry Ma Shenghe!”

Ma Shenghe, who had not left yet, sneered as he heard Han Lingling’s words of regret: “Marry me? Sorry, I, Ma Shenghe, am not worthy of you, Miss Han.”

Although Ma Shenghe may be a frustrated disciple from Changning County, he wasn’t lacking in women. At first, he indeed wanted to marry Han Lingling because he knew he didn’t have much status in North Mountain County, and he needed someone to help him secure his position. Marrying Han Lingling would be the best choice.

He knew Han Lingling’s temper well, and he never intended to be too good to her. Beishan Main City’s elders could also see that and intentionally used him to grind Han Lingling’s temper.

Unfortunately, Han Lingling couldn’t see it herself.

He no longer cared about it.

Since Han Lingling had already rejected him once, he would naturally not give her another chance.

As he spoke, Ma Shenghe turned and left.

At this point, Han Lingling was truly in despair.

Only now did she realize that when she had choices, she had not cherished any of them.

By the time she came to her senses, she had no choices left.

She was isolated, completely isolated.

Yang Chen didn’t understand any of this but had no intention of paying attention to it either. In his eyes, Han Lingling didn’t pose any threat, and he trusted Beishan Main City to make a wise choice. He didn’t think that Beishan Main City would continue to ignore Han Lingling’s attempts to target him.

Of course, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

When he left the Trial Tower, the news had reached Elder Ma and Elder Li, who were waiting outside. They treated him with even more respect.

“Young Sect Master, what are we going to do next?” Elder Ma looked at Yang Chen, treating the current Yang Chen with the utmost respect.

If initially, they couldn’t say they submitted to Yang Chen wholeheartedly, now they had no objections left. Yang Chen had conquered the legendary 20th floor of the Training Tower – their sect leader had indeed been far-sighted.

Yang Chen smiled faintly, “Staying in Beishan Main City for a couple more days is no problem. Find a place for me to stay; I want to go into seclusion for a few days.”

“Yes, Young Sect Master!”

Elder Li and Elder Ma hurried to make arrangements.

At the same time, Yang Chen started to ponder his own affairs.

His initial plan to stay in Beishan Main City for a few more days was not mere nonsense, he had indeed been thinking about it.

Because he was really curious about the second layer of what Zhang Xuelian had given him in that box. What was in there?

He had to admit, Zhang Xuelian was a very charming woman because she was very generous. The first layer of the box contained a key to a treasure of a thousand years. What would the second layer have in store for him?
